BIG SIS INVADES WAL-MART: ‘IF YOU SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING’
WASHINGTON — Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Janet Napolitano today announced the expansion of the Department’s national “If You See Something, Say Something” campaign to hundreds of Walmart stores across the country—launching a new partnership between DHS and Walmart to help the American public play an active role in ensuring the safety and security of our nation.
“Homeland security starts with hometown security, and each of us plays a critical role in keeping our country and communities safe,” said Secretary Napolitano. “I applaud Walmart for joining the ‘If You See Something, Say Something’ campaign. This partnership will help millions of shoppers across the nation identify and report indicators of terrorism, crime and other threats to law enforcement authorities.”
The “If You See Something, Say Something” campaign—originally implemented by New York City’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority and funded, in part, by $13 million from DHS’ Transit Security Grant Program—is a simple and effective program to engage the public and key frontline employees to identify and report indicators of terrorism, crime and other threats to the proper transportation and law enforcement authorities.
More than 230 Walmart stores nationwide launched the “If You See Something, Say Something” campaign today, with a total of 588 Walmart stores in 27 states joining in the coming weeks. A short video message, available here, will play at select checkout locations to remind shoppers to contact local law enforcement to report suspicious activity.
Over the past five months, DHS has worked with its federal, state, local and private sector partners, as well as the Department of Justice, to expand the “If You See Something, Say Something” campaign and Nationwide SAR Initiative to communities throughout the country—including the recent state-wide expansions of the “If You See Something, Say Something” campaign across Minnesota and New Jersey. Partners include the Mall of America, the American Hotel & Lodging Association, Amtrak, the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, sports and general aviation industries, and state and local fusion centers across the country.
In the coming months, the Department will continue to expand the “If You See Something, Say Something” campaign nationally with public education materials and outreach tools designed to help America’s businesses, communities and citizens remain vigilant and play an active role in keeping the county safe.
If you see an illegal alien, report them.... heh
One wonders what sword of Damocles is hanging over Walmart’s head to get them to cave to this. I thought the libs despised Walmart.
Wasn’t there an article here the other day about the Walmart CEO visiting the White House?
Here’s three for starters...
There’s a Communist posing as our alleged President.
Communists have completely infiltrated the Democrat party.
Communists have infiltrated the teaching profession.
Go get em!
I see dunham is a commie usurper, where do I report this.
I see London, I see France, Big Sis sees my underpants.
This just shows how out of touch Big Sis really is!
Do you think she REALLY wants people of WalMart to report what they see??

Who do I call to report a lunatic in charge of a government agency that issues firearms to nitwits...?
I see something - a fox (not a cute one either) guarding the hen house.
I see fat people on those damn scooters blocking the aisles and poor people buying better food than I can afford using their food stamp cards. What’s the number?
If I see a guy who is playing as in impostor POTUS does that mean I need to report him? Since he doesn’t have a COLB that makes him very, very suspicious. And will Nappy do anything about it?
Comrades!
What are they going to see at Wal-Mart? When the terrorists start using Little Debbie cakes that might come in handy.
This administration really loves their snappy soundbites.
OK, Big Sis...
I see something wrong - it’s going on all over the country. People being sexually molested. In Airports. It’s an epidemic...
This administration really loves their snappy soundbites.
I just told someone about this, and here was his reply: “Useless. More clutter. They can’t process the information they currently have, but they’re going to field, register, investigate, file/categorize, and respond to 10X the input from unreliable sources? This is propaganda BS to get people to feel like they’re part of the solution, so they will tolerate the fact that they have to be inconvenienced so that those who are not part of the solution can be located.
Ploy.”
I tend to agree with him. I also remember how up in arms liberals were when Ashcroft wanted to have people report similarly after 9/11. The Obama admin has taken things further and partnered with Wal-Mart secretly. I guess this is the Obama admin’s way of killing another capitalistic enterprise. No autos, no tobacco, no Wal-Mart, no airlines, etc.
When does the Wal-Mart boycott begin????????
Yes, but the article says they were meeting to discuss “economic outreach.” I guess not!
You can get an eye exam at Walmart...pretty soon, maybe a little more. :(
